UNWomen Iceland 2011 - Empowering Women

Jussanam da Silva is a Brazilian singer who for the last three years has lived in Iceland. During her time here she has become known and loved for her music and also her fight against Icelandic Immigration Authorities who denied her a residence permit.

Jussanam won the battle and has now joined hands with the Icelandic National Committee of UN Women. The Brazilian singer wrote and performed a song for the Icelandic NC’s fundraising campaign. The song is dedicated to all women struggling in the poorest countries and the war torn areas of the world.
